Dry soil removal ~ Rodmell near Lewes, Sussex
In recent weeks we seem to be visiting Rodmell near Lewes on a regular basis, one job involved cleaning a very thick rug. Our normal rug cleaning process is to try and remove the maximum amount of dry soil before any cleaning takes place, introducing water to dry soil will cause a problem, immediately turning dry soil into sludge / mud.
A customer from Ringmer surprised me a while ago after thorough vacuuming and dry soil removal methods had been employed, I managed to remove far less grit, sand and dirt than usual, I commented to my customer about this, who walked into the garden grinning, showing me her old tennis racket, which was used to beat the rug each week. Sometimes the old ways really do work!
After cleaning, the rug looked considerably better, colours had been restored and the fibres were clean and fresh, with no residue.
